  • Androgen receptor
  • Heat shock factor (HSF) are transcriptional activators of heat shock genes. HSF bind to heat shock sequence elements throughout the genome with a consensus array of three oppositely oriented sequence AGGAN and activate transcription. Each HSF monomer contains one C-terminal and 3 N-terminal leucine zippers. Two sequences flanking the N-terminal leucine zippers contain the consensus nuclear localization signal (NLS). The DNA-binding domain (DBD residues 193-281) of HSF lies in the N-terminal of the first NLS region[1]. Depletion of HSF-1 is associated with accumulation of pathogenic androgen receptor in neurodegenerative diseases[2].
  • Cellular retinoic acid-binding protein (CRABP); Epididymal RABP (ERABP) is an androgen-dependent RABP present in the lumen of the epididymis believed to be involved in sperm maturation. ERABP binds specifically all-trans- and 9-cis-RA.
  • Aromatase. The primary function of aromatase is to produce estrogens by aromatizing androgens. Aromatase is the only known enzyme in vertebrates capable of catalyzing the aromatization of a six-membered ring[3].
  • Student Project 1 for UMass Chemistry 423 Spring 2015. Protein kinase C related kinase 1 (PRK1) is a component of Rho-GTPase, histone demethylase, androgen receptor, and histone demethylase signaling pathways and is involved in ovary and prostate cancer. A lot of PRK1 is expressed in cases of ovarian serous carcinoma.
  • Finasteride
  • Zolinza (Vorinostat)
